Every year, thousands of newborns face life-threatening challenges, and for many families, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) becomes a second home. September is NICU Awareness Month, a time to honor the strength of these little fighters, their families, and the dedicated medical teams who provide life-saving care. At JFL, we’re proud to offer vital NICU services to the most fragile members of our community.
To support our NICU families, we’re launching a NICU Community Donation Drive this month. Here’s how you can get involved and make a difference:
Why Your Support Matters
Having a baby in the NICU is an emotional and stressful experience for parents and families. Our NICU staff works around the clock to provide the best care. You can help us meet the needs of the children and families we serve by donating items from our wish list.
What We Need:
You can help support NICU families by donating any of the following items:
- P-1 Preemie Diapers (Brand: Pampers)
- Water (Diaper) Wipes
- Medela Breastmilk Storage Bags
- Medela Breastmilk Storage/ Feeding Bottles (5oz)
- NB Sized Diapers (Brand: Pampers)
How to Donate:
You can drop off your donations at the front desk of the OLD JFL Building during our donation drive, running from September 13th – September 25th. Every contribution, no matter how small, will directly benefit NICU families in need. We respectfully request that items donated are new and not used or opened
Spread the Word:
We also encourage you to spread awareness by sharing this blog post and using the hashtag #NICUAwareness on social media. Help us reach more people and build a community of support for families going through this challenging time.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support in helping our smallest patients grow strong and healthy. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of NICU families.
